CnETENNE, Wjo., Oct. 18. Charles

two men in a box car on the Union
Pacific Bailroad near here, said to te
day: "I first saw them at Sidney on Fri
day, September 2Gth. I left this place
on the same freight train with them
that night, but did not know they
were aboard until the next morning
when they crawled into the car I oc
cupied. It was at a little station be
tween Sidney and Hillsdale. Just
bcroro wo reached the latter place,
about noon on Saturday, the 17th, aud
while the youug men were asleep, I
killed both of them with an old 32
caliber pistol, which I bought for
$1.2o. 1 shot Emerson first and he
died instantly. I then shot tho other
an instant after. The thoucht then
entered my mind, when we reached
Hillsdale that one was still breathing,
but he did not move nor epeak after
he washot.
I killed them for money. I was
penniless, hungry and desperate. I
took Emerson's knife, and a silver
watch and a revolver. From Fish
baugh'8 purse I took 17 and left the
purse on tho car floor, also tho watch
and chain. 1 laid my pistol down
near Emerson's body.
Tho murdered meu "were discovered
before tho train left Hillsdale and the
' bodies were taken to Cheyenne.
Miller was followed ou th8 first
passenger train before leaving Hills
dale. He threw Emerson's r evovler
aud knives out at the end of 18th
street. Ho slept Saturday night with
a young man that worked in a brew
ery, whose uncle rnns a saloon near
by. He read the reports of murder in
the Sunday morning Cheyenne papers
and went out in the country that day
aud struck a man with a flock of sheep
for a lob and accompanied him to
Grover a Colorado town on the Bur

Canal Projects in Franc?.
The project for making Paris into a
port is now completed, and nothing
remains but the sanction of the gov
ernment to put tho work into the
hands of the contractors. Hitherto
the government has kept aloof from the
proposals until its promoters were in
a position to carry out the undertak
ing to a successful issue, a caution en
gendered by tho recent failures of
French engineering undertakings.
The promoters have now raised the
necessary capital, amounting to
dEo,.00,000, and it is probable that the
sanction of the government will be
given to the project, and the work of
cannliziug the Seine with a view to
allowing tho passage of sea-going ves
sels from Havre to Paris will be pro
ceeded with, and extensive docks will
bo constructed nt Pantin on tho
northeast of the city. Another pro
posal is for the construction of a canal
to connect the Mediteranean with tho
Bay of Biscay; with the intention of
intercepting a great part of tho ship
ping which at present passes through
tho Straits of Gibraltar. If these two
projects bo carried out, they will have
an immense effect on the trade of

The people of this country are be
coming great consumers- of the main
Brazilian prodnct. Importations of
coffee from that conntrv advanced
from Sm.OOO.OOO in 1SSG to $31,500,000
in 18S9, an increase of nearly fifty per
cent, in threo years. Tho amount ot
Brazilian importations, all told, ex
ceeds 00,000,000 annnally, while our
exportations to that country aro less
than $10,000,000. There is little
doubt that heavy drafts are made upon
our gold and silver through the En
glish market owing to this large
balance of trade against us.
Sixty years ago railroads were un
known in the United States, and the
population consisted of 12,000,000
people; to-day there are upward of
1G5.000 miles ot railroad and the pop
ulation has increased to 65,000,000.

Tacoma, Oct. 18.--The city election
to-day under the new Australian sys
tem passed off quietly. Over thirty
arrests were made by deputy sheriffs
for attempted illegal voting and brib
ing. The keepers of gambling houses
spent money lavishly in their efforts
to elect a democratic mayor and coun
cil and thus to retain the present
chief of police, whom it is said owns a
half interest in tho "Comique" one of
tho worst gambling hells in the north

in open defiance of law.

Feesxo, Oct. 18. At about noon to
day Jas. Simpson, a laborer, shot and
wounded his ex-wife, Mary Simpson.
He and his wife were married eighteen
years ago. They had lived together
for a number of years, but he was
constantly jealous of her and she
some months ago secured a divorce.
Simpson had been threatening her
ever since and to-day hearing that she
was to be married again, he armed
himself with a shot gun and knife and
went hunting for her. He found her
in the yard of a house where she re
sided and blazed away with the shot -gun,
lodging about fifty bird-shot in
her knees, inflicting painful, but not
serious wounds- Simpson has been
arrested and charged with assaultto
murder.
Pleasing, Bat Doubtful.
Last Wednesday Spencer Kosecame
in from Hillsboro and with a gleam of
characteristic intelligence darting from
his speaking orbs he pounced noon tho
Journal reporter and poured forth a
tale of such glowing and enfrancinsr
interest that it nearly unset the hardv
information hustler. In his own
words, to quote friend Spencer, "they
are throwing dirt on the Hillsboro end
of the load." This means that rail
road work has been begun at last, and
the contractor informed Mr. Bose
that the work will be kept ud from
now on with as many men on the job
as can oe proourea oy tne contractors.
This 13 good news. But mingled
with tho joy it brings is one little ray
of doubt, no bigger than Joe Van's
new barn, as to its reliability. Not
for the whole of the Bose addition
would any reflection be cast upon
Spencer's good intentions or veracity.
But alas! That same Kose has an
abnormally developed imagination
and his intense longing to see "the
main line of the Astoria & South
Coast railroad run through the east
half of the southeast quarter
of section five" so read tho bonds
may have caused .him to forget his
early Christian training and the recent
camp meeting, and fabricate for fun.
Bnt what there is no doubt of at
all, is that important movements are
being made in more than one direc
tion, presumably by the great South
ern Pacific system. Mr. Kose men
tioned several important deals which
aro on the eve of being consummated,
one of which, the sale of the Pebble
creek coal lands, will throw that sec
tion into spasms of excitement and
action. Nehalem Journal.
All Watches Compasses.
A few days ago I was standing by
an American gentleman, when I ex
pressed awish.to know which point
was north. He nt once pulled out his
watch, looked at it and pointed north.
I asked him whether he had a com
pass attached to his watch. "All
watches," he replied, "are compasses."
Then he explained to me how this was.
Point the hour hand to the sun and"
tho south is exactly half way between
tho hour and the figures XII on the
watch. For instance suppose that it
is 1 o'clock. Point the hand indicat
ing 1 to tho sun, and LT on the watch
is exactly south. Suppose that it is
8 o'clock, point the hand indicating 8
to the siln, and the figure X on the
watch is due south. My American
friend was quite surprised that I did
know this. Thinking that verypos
sibilyl was ignorant of a thing that
every one else knew, and happening
to meet Mr. Stanley, I asked that
eminent traveler whether he was
aware of this simple mode ol discover
ing the points of the compass. He
said that he had never heard of it I
presume, therefore, that the world is
m the same state of ignorance.
Amalfi is proud of having been the
home of tho inventor of the compass.
I do not know what town boasts of
my American friend as a citizen.
